That's your use case, but you could also want to share a picture with your family, or some confidential logs with a collegue or support team. However, I wouldn't trust any online service for this use case though. If some information is confidential, you should encrypt it yourself, share it with your peer (you could use a pastebin), then share the key over a trusted channel that's different from this pastebin.
